    A no-show is a loss though as PoPLA list it as a cancelled invoice.

    I've amended that paragraph to emphasise GPEOL losses, rather than losses in general.
    It may also be why there have been so many PSDSUs where GPEOL has been cited - thereby preventing more recent GPEOL losses to rack up in POPLA records?

    Cheers.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Musings: this seems too detailed and too well expressed to have been drafted internally. I wonder whether this is a joint venture between some of the PPC heavyweights and this, under the VCS banner, is a tracer to ascertain future strategy?

    I tend to agree though it is just too verbose for Cap'n Kirk and smacks of someone being preposterously smug when they wrote it. You know, the sort of smugness that comes from someone who has been hoping and praying for a judgment such as this and is now going to play it for all its worth without regard for its true value or the fact that it too could collapse like a soggy meringue. On that basis I'd suggest that it originates from within PPC World not chambers and PPC World includes Haywards Heath Towers. After all, if PPC World implodes there'll be an awful lot of empty desks at Chez BPA Ltd.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    This is the killer statement:-

    nevertheless it remains that a charge for damages must be compensatory in nature rather than punitive.

    In this case, it is clear that the dominant purpose of the charge is to deter vehicles from staying beyond the 90 minute limit. Accordingly, I am not satisfied that the charge can be commercially justified.
